N-th Order Kinetics model

The n-th order reaction kinetics (Kamal model) is used to calculate the curing behavior of a thermoset material in the following analyses:

  • Reactive Molding
  • Microchip Encapsulation
  • Underfill Encapsulation
  • Chemical Foam Molding analysis

The n-th order reaction kinetics model is given by the equation:

nth order reaction kinetics model

where:

  • degree of cure is the degree of cure (0-1)
  • temperature is the temperature (K)
  • time is time (s)
  • k1
  • k2
  • m, n, A1, A2, E1 and E2 are constants.
